New Guides On Vandalism Released

The Home Office has published a series of 5 short practical guides through its crime reduction website, to help businesses and organisations tackle vandalism and criminal damage.

Each guide is short and snappy at only 4 pages long, and addresses practical issues, illustrating its points with pen picture case studies.

The titles of the guides are:

• Tackling vandalism and other criminal damage;
• Tools and powers for tackling criminal damage;
• Environmental approaches to tackling vandalism;
• High visibility policing;
• Tackling youth vandalism;
• Tackling arson;
• Criminal damage – Problem analysis;
• Environmental clean up days.

If you would like to download the guides for viewing at your leisure, they can be found on the Government’s Crime Reduction website on this link.

Recommended in the literature is the implementation of surveillance systems. If you are looking to implement a CCTV surveillance system on your premises, it is worth bearing in mind that new digital CCTV camera and recording systems are now available at affordable prices, which are compliant with UK police requirements, and thus can be used in a British court of law to prosecute thieves, vandals and trespassers.

If you are interested in learning more about digital CCTV and how it can help you, why not contact a member of the CCTV Surveillance sales team, who would be happy to provide you with additional information and advice.
